Hey USA Patrick Fitzgerald

[Fresh_Start]

When you were supoenaing emails from the White House related to Plame/Wilson.... did they bother to send you the emails from their private server? We know that they tried to lose the emails from the official server. Its hard to believe they were forthcoming about their home-away-from-home on the RNC sponsored site.

DUBLIN, Ireland -- American prosecutors increasingly have to be aware of other countries' laws, Patrick Fitzgerald, Chicago's U.S. attorney, told a gathering of lawyers here Friday.
One example would be a prosecutor trying to go after a child molester who puts footage of his actions on the Internet. A prosecutor would need to be familiar with the laws of the country in which the transmission originates, Fitzgerald said.

"We used to think of prosecutions of conduct happening outside the United States as coming once in a blue moon, but I think we're going to start seeing this a lot more frequently," Fitzgerald said.


Taking the tougher route
When Fitzgerald went to Kenya in 1998 to investigate the bombing of the U.S. Embassy there, he and his team decided to follow both American and Kenyan law until they decided which country they would file charges in.
"If there were two ways of doing it, we would do it the harder way so it would stand up in court in either place," he said.

That meant that instead of letting a witness sit behind a one-way mirror and point out a suspect from a lineup of six people, as U.S. law requires, witnesses had to come face-to-face with a lineup of nine people, then walk up and place their hand on the shoulder of the suspect they identified, as required under Kenyan law....

6. thanks. I had thought that fitz was prosecuting Black

so when I heard another attorney was doing it, I was confused.

I guess he's prosecuting it, in that his office is doing so.
